First Families of Beersheba Springs First Families of Beersheba Springs In 1983 the Beersheba Springs Historical Society published a book entitled; Beersheba Springs – A History It has served as the defining document on the early history of this mountain top resort and the Collins River Valley below. One section of this book, “First Families of Beersheba”, is devoted to the genealogy of 42 families that were the pioneers of this region of Grundy County. The Society has copies of this book for sale and in 2010 published an updated edition but without the “First Families” section. However the Society has recognized the value of placing the genealogical material from the book in the public domain for research purposes. Permission has been given to post “First Families of Beersheba Springs” on this web site. To assist researchers of these families and expand the total body of knowledge available, this site will do the following. • Post “First Families of Beersheba Springs” in its original form • Accept and publish additional information that either corrects an error or adds substantially to the overall genealogy of a specific family. • Researchers will be encouraged to submit additional material for evaluation and publication. If you have questions concerning this project or have material to contribute, please contact the Webmaster at [email protected]. FIRST FAMILIES It has been said in jest that at Beersheba nobody has to be introduced. Introductions are a waste of time because everybody is kin. Yet, a simple question comes to mind. Do people always know what kin and how kin? If not, they may be able to come up with the answer by consulting the pages which follow, for here are histories of Beersheba’s Founding Families from Anglin through Woodlee. The names roll off the tongue like the familiar sounds of the alphabet. .Bess, Bouldin, Brown, Cagle, Coppinger. This chapter names the members of many families who came early to the mountain, staked out their claims, and survived when Tennessee was still young. Some were here, or nearby, in 1833 when Mrs. Beersheba Porter Cain sipped the chalybeate water of the spring and started the influx of summer people that has been going on for 150 years. Some were here before Andrew Jackson stopped overnight or James K. Polk held a political conference in 1840. The familiar local names are all recorded—some called to mind from the pages of a family Bible, some from memory, some from letters, account books, and public records. The papers of Thomas Jefferson Barnes (18831956), the Warren County historian and genealogist, are an indispensable source for family histories of this area. Many local informants have shared their knowledge and allowed the editors to use their notes. Margaret Brown Coppinger undertook and successfully completed the actual compilation over a period of several years of determined digging, which was clearly a labor of love. With these genealogical details assembled and published now for the first time— however much has been lost—many readers will arrive at a comprehensive and compelling introduction to those families who came early, who have chosen to stay the year round, and who can be counted on to go on keeping the faith. Anglin John Anglin, born in 1793 in North Carolina, and wife Labra, born 1808. Their children were: Lynchia, m. J. M. Lockhart; Adrian; John; Houston; Tipton; Evaline; and Elizabeth. Argo There were several Argo families in Warren County as early as 1830; most members were born in North Carolina. Among them were Josiah, John, David, R.M., William, and Isaiah. The 7 children of David Argo (who married twice) were 1 Robert m. Eliza Vickers; Susan m. Arnold Argo; Mary m. Samuel Henderson; Thomas m. Mary Laughlin; William m. Julia Cain; Catherine m.

Armfield The original John Armfield, who was a strict Quaker and school teacher, came to America in 1695 from Northern England. By 1718 he and his wife were living in Philadelphia. He taught school in Bucks County for several years. The Armfields were the parents of five sons and three daughters. The sons were William, John, Robert, Isaac, and Thomas. By 1760 John had left Philadelphia and gone to North Carolina, settling in a log house near Greensboro. William had seven sons: Robert, William, Nathan, Solomon, Jonathan, David, and John. Nathan was the father of John Armfield of Beersheba, b. 1797, d. 1871. According to tradition, Isaac Franklin, the prosperous slave-trader, found John Armfield driving a stagecoach and took him in as a business partner with headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia. Barnes It is believed that the family was in England at the time of the Norman Conquest and one appears to have been a knight in the service of William the Conqueror when he arrived in England in 1066.

  • The Story of Crawford Long
    The Story of Crawford Long ©The discovery of surgical anesthesia by Crawford W. Long ever stimulates interest and enthusiasm among those interested in the history of medicine. Boland has written the events relating to the discovery of the use of ether by Long in a sprightly style that captivates the imagination of the reader." Quarterly Review of Biology In 1846 William Thomas Green Morton (1819-1868) performed the first publicly-witnessed surgery to use ether as an anesthetic when he removed a neck tumor from a patient at Massachusetts General Hospital. News of the dramatic event quickly spread and Morton was erroneously credited with discovering the procedure. Few people at the time knew that Crawford W. Long (1815 1878), a physician from FRANK KELLS BOLAND Danielsville, Georgia, was the true pioneer of this important medical advancement. Frank Kells Boland published The First Anesthetic in 1950. It traces the history of Long©s first discoveries and uses of anesthesia and calls for wider recognition of his achievements. FRANK KELLS BOLAND was a medical history scholar who served as Chairman of the Committee on Medical History of the Medical Association of Georgia. After publishing The First Anesthetic\\*e. served as President of the Crawford Long Memorial Association.

Printed in the United State$ of America To Dr. and Mrs. Lewis Henry Hightower EDITORS' FOREWORD From the time that Dr. Thomas Walker penetrated the Cum­ berland Gap and gained a vision of the fertile land that lay be­ yond to modem days when each year the Bluegrass country is the cynosure of thousands of eyes, Kentucky has had an en­ viable history. Daniel Boone, Henry Clay, the Lincoln family, and Rafinesque all gave color to the state's story. Professor Davenport is well qualified to interpret the social and intellectual history of Kentucky during the dramatic first sixty years of the nineteenth century. For years he has investi­ gated the daily life of the common man and the ease and luxury of the aristocracy; he has studied the growth of education and penal institutions; he has written the story of science and of medicine; and he has searched for and brought to light much of the literature and music of ante-bellum days.

Even before writing first appeared, bards of old probably complained of rival fabulists having filched Ptheir best tales. Today plagiarism is of two types—stealing written words or pirating a novel idea/concept. Text plagiarism involves assuming authorship of a passage written by someone else; we are not concerned with it here. Concept plagiarism concerns claiming the origin of an idea/concept conceived and generally published earlier by someone else. While similar or even identical ideas may occur independently to several inves- tigators,1 appropriating another’s novel concept without due attribution is a serious offense in the sciences, since this may later raise the thorny issue of priority of discovery. Much of re- search today is highly competitive; the primacy of discovery of- ten determines not only favorable recognition but also income, advancement, and tenure in academia and industry. Research universities occasionally have had to confront troubling in- stances of concept plagiarism involving students and mentors.

  • KENTUCKY's ORTHOPAEDIC HERITAGE Alfred R. Shands, Jr
    KENTUCKY’S ORTHOPAEDIC HERITAGE Alfred R. Shands, Jr., M. D. Medical Director Emeritus Alfred I. Du Pont Institute Wilmington, Delaware 19899 Presented at a Meeting of the Innominate Medical Historical Society, Louisville, Kentucky, May 24th, 1974. Only two states in the Union, New York and Massachusetts, have a greater Heritage in orthopaedic surgery than Kentucky. Without the brains which Kentucky contributed to the specialty in its early days, its development would have been greatly retarded. The purpose of this paper is to tell you something about this heritage and these brains. One of Kentucky’s adopted sons, born in New Jersey, was the greatest orthopaedic surgeon of the 19th century; namely, Lewis Albert Sayre (1820-1900), of Lexington, a graduate of Transylvania of 1838. Another of her sons did more than any other one of his period to take the specialty out of what was called its “buckle and strap” era, and bring it into the modern day practices; namely, Virgil Pendleton Gibney (1847-1927), of Lexington, another graduate of Transylvania of 1869. A third son was more outstanding than any other of his time in developing the surgical aspects of the specialty; namely, Russell Aubra Hibbs (1869-1932) of Birdsville. These three were all national and international shining lights of their day. No lights shone brighter in the United States in orthopaedic surgery than these three from Kentucky. Gibney and Hibbs were the heads of the two great orthopaedic hospitals of New York City, Gibney at the Ruptured and Crippled from 1887 to 1924 (37 years); Hibbs at the New York Orthopaedic from 1898 to 1932 (34 years).

They have found the subject quite interesting and believe that it has importance as a chapter in the social history of the region and period. Their goal has been set some- what short of that of the western doctor who, a century ago, launched a short-lived medical periodical with the intent "to treat of the general principles, laws, and phenomena of mind and matter: the world within us, and the world with- out us; commencing at the perfection of nature, or man; and travel down through all stages of animal existence. From man to brute life, from animal to plant, from plant to crystal, from crystal to clod, from intellect to feeling, from feeling to form, from form to shapeless matter; from the most inveterate disease to the mildest complaint; from the strongest remedy to soothing means, from simple to compound, from pills to powders.

  • Toward an Understanding of the Equality of Pain: Crawford Long and the Development of Anesthesia in Antebellum Georgia
    Journal of Anesthesia History 1 (2015) 14–17 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Journal of Anesthesia History journal homepage: http://www.elsevier.com/locate/janh Original Research Toward an Understanding of the Equality of Pain: Crawford Long and ★ the Development of Anesthesia in Antebellum Georgia☆,☆☆, Julia M. Rosenbloom, MD, MA ⁎, Robert B. Schonberger, MD, MA Department of Anesthesiology, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut abstract Dr. Crawford Long's career illustrates the complicated intersection of science, sympathy, medical experimen- tation, race, and gender within the history of anesthesia in the United States. Considered by many to be the first physician to administer ether for surgical anesthesia, Long anesthetized a broad cross-section of his rural Georgia society, including white men, white women, and enslaved black children. These initial uses of ether can be considered both a racialized and gendered experiment reflective of contemporary thinking as well as a radical expression of equality in the context of medical development and understandings of pain. Emerging from this examination of Long's practices and writing is the narrative of a well-meaning and time-bound doctor, living amidst the shadows of antebellum plantations and confronted by his diverse patients' experience of pain. © 2014 Anesthesia History Association.
